Solid listing with a few clear gaps to close.
Land the top 3 fixes below and this listing reaches 89/100 · 7,876 m (Summit Ridge).
Ordered by how many points each one adds to the score. Start at the top.
15/30 characters used.
The title is the heaviest ranking field. You have 15 characters unused: add your strongest keyword after the name, e.g. “Planbook Mobil: <main keyword>”.
1 language.
Each localisation adds a new title, subtitle and 100-character keyword field. Even without translating the app, localise the listing for ES, DE, FR, PT-BR and JA.
Last update 156 days ago.
Apps that ship regularly get re-crawled and keep their ranking. Aim for an update every 4 to 6 weeks, even a small one.
On iOS, only the title, subtitle and hidden keyword field count for search. The description does not. Words you only mention there are invisible.
2 unique words. Apple combines them, so “budget” and “planner” also rank for “budget planner”.
The description keeps coming back to these, but the title and subtitle skip them. Check each one in Keyword Scout and move the winners into the keyword field.
The first three do most of the selling: they appear directly in search results. Read them as a stranger would, in two seconds.
Grouped by theme from the most recent written reviews. Run this on a competitor and the complaints become your feature list.
Reads the recent reviews in any language and tells you what to fix, and what a competitor could exploit.
Apps Apple shows next to this one, run through the same audit.
Metadata Studio checks character limits, wasted words and keyword coverage as you type.
Audit of the public listing as of today. The hidden 100-character keyword field cannot be read from outside App Store Connect, so it is not scored.
Title is the name alone.
Nobody searches for a name they have never heard of. Append what the app does in the words people type (“Habit Tracker”, “Budget Planner”).
Last 40 written reviews average 3.0★.
Recent written reviews trend negative, and they are the first ones visitors read. Reply to them and fix the top complaint (see Review Radar below).
Generic notes: “- Performance and stability improvements. - UI refinements for a more …”
“Bug fixes and improvements” tells existing users nothing. Name what changed: it is free re-engagement copy shown in the Updates tab.
Three title and subtitle options plus a keyword field, each checked against Apple's character limits.
“I can’t set up my class schedule because the app keeps crashing. Also has false error messages such as “you need a name for this class” after I name them.”
“I just spent 15 minutes trying to get my app set up. The app will not even let me sign in with a valid school year. I would give this zero stars if I could because I wast…”
“I don’t mind paying for a good app. I DO mind when it isn’t clear up front that there’s a fee. I just set this up and transferred data to discover I was in a free trial.”
“Generally I like this app but I have lost SO many lesson plans because I’ll be in the app and then need to check something in another app, like a definition, and when I g…”
“I went to download my lesson plans to submit and they were all deleted! Yes, my subscription was up to date. No, nobody is available to speak too. So here I am on a Sunda…”
“I appreciate being able to copy and paste my lessons to adapt to changes. It is like my open game app to dink on and think through changes. It helps me focus on the deta…”
“I love using this digital plan book. It makes sharing my lessons/agenda so easy. I love the different colors, how it allows you to include the standards. I am lost withou…”
“I’ve used Planbook for years. I love that there is a mobile app. I can review, edit, and revise my plans from anywhere. It’s great when you have a sub. I trying out the n…”
“I have been using the program for about 5 years. I like most of the features except for the fact that the app doesn’t have the ability to use facial recognition or saves …”
“Love the app on my desktop and can’t live without it. The app, however, does not allow for single sign on like google as the desktop does, rendering my access to the app useless. I’ve already paid for an account with my …”
“I love Planbook on my computer but I wish the app had more features like copying lessons from other years and teachers and switching between days to continue planning easily.”
“So, this is one of those things that is minor but drives me crazy. My school year starts with 203 days but when it finishes its 185 days. It’s like the calendar doesn’t recognize “No School Days” until the actual date …”
